There's a time for laughing...
by Stephen Newell
Chorus:
There’s a time for weeping, time for laughing
Time to mourn and a time to dance
There’s a time for planting and uprooting
Time to pray and a time to throw sin away
1. Your love O lord, surrounds us now from heaven
In faithfulness from Jesus, God’s own Son.
His righteousness is like the mighty mountains
His justice deeper than the sea
Chorus:
2. Your love O lord, surrounds us now from heaven
In faithfulness from Jesus, God’s own Son.
He can touch you with his gentle feather
He has healing in his wings
Chorus
Then Chorus with alternative harmony:
Every day
Every day is a day to spend with you
Every day
Every day is a day to spend with you
All together:
To spend with you.

About the Hymn
This was a hymn which I wrote many years ago. I was helped originally by a friend Tim Rylands, a musical genius.
It is an upbeat song, but with the depth of the passage from Ecclesiastes chapter three.
A passage very much worth singing about.
